Mu Mianmian had a wonderful bubble bath in the villa.
Afterward, she walked around the villa and unexpectedly discovered a pharmacy.
“My goodness, cephalosporins, cinnarizine, penicillin… There are so many medicines!”
The amazing part was that when she picked up one bottle, another bottle immediately appeared to replace it.
Mu Mianmian was overjoyed.
“These supplies are actually unlimited. This is wonderful!”
She took some snacks and candy, filled a container with spiritual spring water, and then left the space.
After making sure everyone was asleep, Mu Mianmian poured some spiritual spring water into the well.
“This way, everyone in the family can benefit from drinking the water and gradually improve their health. Since I have taken over this body, I should take responsibility for this family. Besides, they really treat me well.”
After finishing everything, Mu Mianmian returned to her room. Before falling asleep, she was still thinking about it.
“Now that I have the fortune of a lucky charm, I definitely have to go to the mountains tomorrow and see how effective it is.”
At the guesthouse in town, after sobering up, Yan Tingfeng eagerly called his family in the capital.
“Grandpa, it is me. I am calling so late because I want to tell you that I have taken a liking to a girl, and I plan to bring her the betrothal gifts tomorrow.”
Old Master Yan was so happy that he nearly jumped for joy on the other end of the phone.
“Really? You finally became interested in a girl?”
Old Madam Yan quickly grabbed the phone and began asking questions.
“Tingfeng, how old is the girl? What is her personality like? How many people are in her family? Have you submitted the marriage application? Let me tell you, since you have decided that she is the one, you absolutely cannot let her down. You must follow all the proper customs, and you must not skimp on the betrothal gifts.”
Yan Tingfeng smiled.
“I know, Grandma. Don’t worry. Once I finish taking care of things here, I will bring Mianmian back to the capital to visit you both.”
The night passed, and just as dawn began to break, the crowing of roosters sounded one after another.
Mu Mianmian stretched lazily. As she sat up, she looked around and once again confirmed that she really had arrived in the world of a novel set in the 1970s.
“Auntie!”
The daughter of her eldest cousin came running in.
“Auntie, there are so many people outside. They brought so many things, and I have never seen most of them before.”
Immediately afterward, a young boy also came running in.
“Auntie, that commander who came yesterday has brought your betrothal gifts. Grandpa and Grandma are calling you outside.”
“So early?”
Her future husband certainly was a man of action.
“Fubao, Nuanbao, go outside first. Auntie will change clothes and come out.”
After sending her nephew and niece outside, Mu Mianmian took out the dress she had brought from the villa in her space the day before.
The dress was not particularly revealing. It was beautiful while still fitting the style of the era. After putting on a matching hair clip, she looked like a completely different person.
The door opened.
A gentle breeze brushed through her hair. Her fair and delicate skin looked irresistibly alluring, and when she smiled, her little canine teeth showed, making her look both adorable and endearing. It was impossible not to stare.
It took two reminders from his guard before Yan Tingfeng finally came back to his senses.
Fortunately, he had not made a fool of himself.
“Mianmian, you look really beautiful today.”
Thankfully, he had submitted his marriage application first thing that morning. With such a beautiful wife, he had to make sure he secured her first.
Mu Mianmian was naturally the kind of person who made others feel comfortable around her. She smiled and said, “Brother Tingfeng, you look very handsome today too.”
She had always been so direct and passionate when expressing affection, and that was precisely what touched Yan Tingfeng’s heart even more.
Her image filled his mind, becoming deeply engraved in his heart and making it impossible for him to forget her.
He wished he could marry her and bring her home immediately.
The soldiers who had come to help deliver the betrothal gifts were also stunned by her beauty.
“My goodness, our future sister in law is so beautiful.”
“She looks so delicate and dependent, as though she is soft and sweet. You just want to protect her.”
“We are in trouble. Our commander is famous throughout the military district for being the Living King of Hell. What if he scares our future sister in law away?”
Yan Tingfeng turned around and glared at them before giving an order.
“Hurry up and move things.”
“Yes, Commander.”
Everyone immediately stood at attention and saluted before continuing their work.
The entrance to the Mu family home was packed with people. Quite a few were even leaning over the courtyard wall, all staring in stunned disbelief.
“My goodness, they have the three major household items and forty eight legs, and everything is complete. Is the Mu girl really worth this much?”
“This is definitely the most impressive betrothal gift our village has ever seen.”
“Look! There is even a television! Even having money and coupons is not necessarily enough to buy something like this. You also need connections!”
“Sure enough, a blessed girl will never enter a household without blessings.
The Chang family lost out by refusing Mianmian. Look at her. She found someone even better almost immediately.”
“That Twenty Eight bicycle is impressive. It must be the first one in our village, right?”
Even the members of the Mu family were shocked.
“Tingfeng, this is far too much, isn’t it?”
Li Fengjiao had known yesterday that Yan Tingfeng came from a good family, but she had never imagined that his family was this wealthy.
Yan Tingfeng smiled and shook his head.
“Grandma, you are willing to marry Mianmian, whom you have treasured for so many years, to me. It is only right that I give you these things. By the way, this is two thousand yuan as the bride price. Please keep it safe.”
Several people who had been leaning over the wall were so shocked that they fell straight down.
Those crowded around the entrance kept rubbing their ears, thinking they had heard incorrectly.
“How much? How much did he just say?”
“Two thousand! A full two thousand yuan!”
“My goodness, that is enough to cover several years of living expenses for an ordinary family.”
“Mu Mianmian has single handedly raised the standard for marriage payments in our village. How are the other families supposed to manage now?”
Li Fengjiao and the Brigade Leader also felt that the amount was far too much.
“Tingfeng, our Mu family is marrying off a daughter, not selling one. You are giving us too much.”
Yan Tingfeng still placed the money firmly into Li Fengjiao’s hands.
“Grandma, I represent the entire Yan family in thanking you for raising Mianmian so well. I am also grateful that you trust me enough to entrust her future to me. I know that Mianmian’s parents were both martyrs who sacrificed their lives. You two have raised this precious girl since she was little. I am leaving this money with you so you will have something to rely on. As people grow older, there will inevitably be times when they need money. Please do not refuse it.”
His words brought tears to the eyes of the elderly couple.
The other members of the Mu family also felt a mixture of emotions.
They all genuinely loved Mu Mianmian and felt sorry for her because she had lost her parents at such a young age.
“All right.”
Li Fengjiao wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, accepted the bride price, and took Yan Tingfeng’s hand before placing it together with Mu Mianmian’s.
“Although we have not known each other for long, Grandma absolutely believes that you will never let our girl suffer.”
Yan Tingfeng held Mu Mianmian’s hand and made his promise with absolute certainty.
“I, Yan Tingfeng, swear that I will never let Mu Mianmian down in this lifetime.”
Everyone applauded when they heard this, and some people even cheered loudly.
The Brigade Leader gently patted Yan Tingfeng on the shoulder.
“Tingfeng, stay for dinner today. Have a few drinks with Grandpa. You two go inside first. There are several new educated youths arriving today, so I will take some people to help arrange things for them.”
Mu Mianmian suddenly remembered.
The true male lead of the original story was among this group of educated youths. After Lu Xiangxiang divorced Chang Jianjun, she eventually lived a happy life with the male lead.
“Brother Tingfeng, let’s go see what is happening too.”
Mu Mianmian grabbed Yan Tingfeng’s hand and smiled, revealing her little canine teeth.
